It seems the Labour council are intent on binning a number of projects (3rd Don crossing, AFC's new stadium, City Gardens Project). No wonder nothing ever gets built in this city. Its the same councillors who have delivered very little over the last 30 years that keep getting voted back in!

There is a very good piece in the New Statesman about the legal myths surrounding Assange: http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/david-allen-green/2012/08/legal-myths-about-assange-extradition

They're not the best are they?

Why do people find it difficult to believe that, despite what good Wikileaks has done, that Assange, just might, might, not be a very nice person? He should be punted to Sweden to face the music, and not use conspiracy theories about the States to shield some reasonably serious charges he faces in Sweden IMHO my honest opinion. As for George Galloway? Jesus wept, what a professional gob shite.

Definitely. Preece was a much improved keeper from working with Leighton. In short, BigAl's lost it.

He'd make a decent backup to Langfield.

Man U to sign Kaka apparently. A few years too late perhaps?

This. I certainly don't remember anybody getting carried away when we re-signed him.

Very encouraging highlights. Difficult to tell whether Vernon was offside or not but two great headers nonetheless. Young Fraser looks good!

30 years ago today. Aberdeen 7 (Black, Strachan, Hewitt, Simpson, Own Goal, McGhee, Kennedy) Sion 0 Team: Leighton, Kennedy, McMaster, Simpson, McLeish, Miller, Strachan, Black (Weir), McGhee, Bell (Rougvie), Hewitt.

Levein played 4-6-0. Del Bosque played 4-3-3. Del Bosque won Euro 2012. Levein is a cunt.

I walk past the gardens every day, there is never anyone in them.

Dixon's apparently left the BBC, surely to fuck he's not gone to ITV - he must be fucking mad!? EDIT: http://www.itv.com/sport/football/article/2012-07-20/itv-announce-lee-dixon-as-new-football-pundit/

Great picture, didn't know Big Eck and Willie were there. Wasn't a bad game tonight, the Dons played some nice stuff. Atmosphere was a bit drab though. Great to see Fletcher get a warm reception when he came on, but not quite as warm as the reception Rougvie got! Was that Clayton Blackmore at right back in the second half? Seemed like he's still reasonably fit. I was quite impressed with Paton tonight, looks a much better player these days!

It'll be great to see Brian Grant and Dougie Bell again, and of course Rougvie but he's a well kent face round Aberdeen.

It's his money. He wants to invest it in the city centre, the public voted in favour of it (rightly or wrongly). But it's now getting very messy and it might be best to pull the plug otherwise a bunch of hypocrites who never use the park will ensure the saga will drag on for many, many years.

That's where I got pints from!

Actually you are right, it was £5 at Hyde Park for a Heineken! Agreed the food queues were too long, everything else was spot on. Straight on a tube after the athletics, and no waiting getting into the park through security.

The pies were a bit expensive, so was the drink - £4.60 for "ale", £5 for a pint of Heineken. I should it should be expected though.

Blur were superb at Hyde Park last night, a truly epic gig. New Order and the Specials were also excellent.
